Spaccaforno in Hamburg

Normally the Spaccafornos are one of my favorite restaurants in Hamburg, because the pizza is particularly tasty and the ambience and service have always been convincing. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my visit to the "new" or expanded restaurant in Winterhude. Immediately upon placement, despite having a reservation, you will be informed that you only have 1.5 hours and will soon be asked to pay. In addition, the tables are so close together that you are essentially sitting at the same table with your neighbor. Unfortunately, the staff was also stressed and not very friendly. But now to the most important thing, the pizzas...unfortunately not convincing this time either, very different sizes, baked to different degrees and only ok in taste. It's a shame, I'll refrain from visiting for now and hope to notice an improvement next time.

I was there with my wife and the new shop on the corner really looks nice from the outside. Unfortunately the food we were served was a disappointment. My wife could only eat half of her pizza and when we asked the waiter about it he showed no interest and said it wasn't his fault. Now we are both at home and struggling with stomach problems and diarrhea. AND NONE OF THAT IS A LIE!

Super tasty pizza and also generously topped 😊 the prices are therefore fair.

Had an incredibly great evening with you! Food 10/10. Professional and friendly service staff. Family atmosphere. Furnishings stylish and appropriate. Unfortunately the seating is a bit too tight, but otherwise a very great restaurant that will transport you to Naples in the middle of Hamburg!

Super delicious pizza and a place that invites you to have a cozy meal. We'll be back. Tip: Be sure to try the Tartufo pizza. 👌🏼

Food was delicious. Service was unfriendly. I wanted to take half of my pizza home with me, which I asked the waitress. This was then thrown away by the staff and unfortunately we were not accommodated. In the end I paid €20 for half a pizza.

Best pizza in Hamburg! Authentic, friendly and very tasty!

Super tasty pizza and very nice, courteous staff. Gladly again. Best pizza we have eaten in a long time.

Uniquely good pizza and great service

Delicious pizza! And nice people. I will definitely go back.

great pizza, very nice atmosphere, highly recommended

THE BEST NEAPOLITAN PIZZA IN HAMBURG (and I would dare say perhaps in all of Germany!!) True Neapolitan owners, super comfortable atmosphere and SPECTACULAR pizza!! I ate a delicious calzone that sent me back to my home in Naples!! And that warmed my heart!! Highest quality ingredients and VERY HONEST prices!! My friend had an “Ilario” pizza and then we split a tiramisu. Everything delicious. Words are not enough. I fell in love, I'll be back soon! Thanks wagliù 💙

Nice little new shop in Winterhude. Friendly and committed service. We had the pizza Diavolo and Napolitana. The dough was too limp for me and the tomato sauce on the Napolitana tasted like a simple ready-made sauce. Unfortunately it had little to do with a delicious pizza from Napoli, where I was able to make it myself and have been looking for a really tasty pizza in Hamburg ever since....

Very good pizza and fair prices. The service was also very friendly!

The pizzas are exceptionally good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is pleasant. A real highlight in Hamburg.

Very tasty Neapolitan pizza! :)

We were looking for a pizzeria and came across this restaurant because of the good reviews. The pizzas are recommended, the atmosphere is “different” than other pizzerias, you can also sit directly at the window to watch people pass by or sit directly at the counter. Recommended!

Simply the best pizza! We come from Hanover and it is clear to us that we go out for pizza in Hamburg when we are nearby..

I visited the restaurant for the first time in the spring of 2024 and loved it - so loved it that I decided to come back on a Saturday evening. I tried to reserve a table on Thursday, but there were only seats at the counter. We quickly decided against making a reservation and asked if we could come by spontaneously without waiting. We were kindly told that this was possible. We then entered the new part of the restaurant on the street corner with anticipation. But unfortunately we were initially completely ignored there. After a short wait, a waitress came from outside and greeted us, but without any warmth. We explained that we had come without a reservation and were willing to wait for a table. The answer was surprisingly unfriendly: “Today there is no space inside, no chance.” This rejection caught us completely off guard, before we could even explain what exactly we wanted – a table, inside or outside, even with a waiting time. But it seemed as if they didn't even want to give us the opportunity to express our wishes. A senior waitress eventually took over the conversation, but she didn't seem interested in welcoming us as guests either. She suggested we go to the “backup branch,” as if it were just a sort of closet for less desirable guests. We felt like annoying remnants that should be sent somewhere else - anything but welcome. The feeling of being valued was completely missing. Eventually we found space in the original branch, but even there the disappointment remained. The quality of the food was far from what I remembered, although still edible. Only a young waitress managed to bring some positivity with her friendly manner for a short time. Conclusion: The atmosphere and the behavior of the staff lacked any hospitality, and the quality of the food no longer met the standard of my first visit. It's a shame - a big difference from what I was hoping for. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the restaurant. !!! Response to response from the owner!!! : Thank you for your feedback, even if it unfortunately only disappointed us even more. Since we have no way to respond directly to your response here, all we can do is post a new comment - which only adds to the frustration with our experience. Our visit in October 2024, which was originally associated with anticipation and high expectations, ended in bitter disappointment. The thought of returning to your restaurant was initially full of excitement - but the treatment we then experienced and your reaction to our review now only leaves us with a feeling of disillusionment. It wasn't the seat that bothered us, but rather the way we were treated: unfriendly, dismissive and without the slightest sign of appreciation for us as guests. However, what disappoints us even more is your response to our review. It seems like they barely read our original comment and instead left a casual, random reply. The core of our criticism was completely ignored - rather than really addressing our sense of disappointment, you seemed more interested in shifting responsibility and suggesting that our "anger" about the pitch was the problem. This really hits us because it ignores what really hit us that evening: the feeling of being unwanted. We had hoped to have an experience as special as the first time - instead, that evening and your response, we were treated to the opposite. It's a shame that our good memories have been so tarnished in this way.

We had a wonderful evening at this Italian restaurant yesterday! The atmosphere was cozy and we had a nice place where we immediately felt at home. The pizza was simply outstanding – crispy, fluffy base, fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. The wine was also a real treat and went wonderfully with the food. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely be back and can only recommend this Italian restaurant to everyone!

Despite having a reservation (for 2 people), we had to wait outside for almost 30 minutes. Once we had our place, things went relatively quickly. Pizza was tasty but not exceptional either. Staff very nice and accommodating. There are no vegan pizzas, but if desired, the vegetarian pizza can be made without cheese.

First of all: The pizzas taste good and are filling. However, when it comes to pricing and service, we are anything but enthusiastic. I ordered a pizza, of which I'm unfortunately not allowed to eat all of the ingredients at the moment, so I canceled everything except the mortadella from the pizza. In the end, however, the regular price was the same on the invoice. Unfortunately, €22 for a pizza with cheese base and mortadella is very excessive and as a service person you really should have collected an individual price. We were a group of 6 people and ordered the normal bread as a “starter” to “put in the middle”. A plate came with 5 slices of bread… Bit bad for 6 guests. This could have been pointed out when ordering, then we would have ordered two portions straight away. We had a birthday child with us and mentioned this right at the beginning. The entire time there wasn't even a little attention from the restaurant. Only when we spoke to our waitress again after the meal did we get the offer that we could order the tiramisu on our own account and the restaurant would put a candle on top for free... Wow. We are used to it differently from other restaurants. Unfortunately, we probably won't come back, even though we live nearby.

Very good pizza, nice service. Be sure to reserve!

Seriously a good pizza. And nice atmosphere. If desired, guests can be given an explanation of how the oven works at the counter.

Excellent!!!!! The best pizza in Town!! The end!!

Pizza dough is great, tomato sauce is delicious. Reservations are required, but there is space at the branch right next door, which is small.

Incredibly good pizza Neapolitan style! Really tasty and pleasant quantity.

This afternoon I tried the “best pizza” in Hamburg for the first time. Besides me, a couple was already eating. Otherwise there were 5 people present who were talking loudly. Unfortunately, I missed the pizza maker and asked for my order after about 20 minutes. I was told that she was just getting refrigerators delivered. After half an hour my Pizza Cotta Funghi was in front of me. I was disappointed that the "best pizza in Hamburg" was only topped with small canned/jar mushrooms. For €15 the surface could be of better quality. I will now continue to search for the “best pizza in Hamburg”. 🤔

Food very tasty! The pizza maker was very nice and caring, especially when we wanted to order and the waiter didn't come. We were immediately informed of our limited time of 1.5 hours (which is okay) but then no one came to take our bill for 30 minutes and then we were told to pay at the counter, which was a bit unfortunate. The seat was by the pizza oven and there was a window behind us, which was simply closed without asking. Unfortunately there was no cloakroom. The waiter was kind enough to make room for a wine box. So pizza was very tasty, service was inconsistent, atmosphere could have been more comfortable.

Everything great. But reserving in advance is a good idea :)

Possibly some of the best pizza in Hamburg. Really good. However unfortunately the tiramisu wasn’t very good which was a shame.

Everything was very good... we looked outside, so it was difficult to judge the ambience.

The best pizza we have eaten so far!

Really the best pizza in Hamburg. The staff was very friendly, the Italian atmosphere, and the wine and beer were the best

My favorite pizzeria in Hamburg! Highly recommended: Pizza Primavera with Bresaola and Burrata - an absolute dream.

3.20 euros for a tiny espresso. Food is tasty and good, but that was my last visit today.

delivery absolutely cold and burned. not really recommended. there are better ones.

Saw the pizza by chance while passing by. Went in, got a table. Great restaurant. Best pizza I've ever eaten. Price/performance great.

I've been to Spaccaforno twice so far, once in the smaller old shop and once in the new one on the corner opposite Gallo Nero. We had reservations every time, the first time our reservation was forgotten and we were told to leave again. We then went to the owner's dad's shop, Gallo Nero. The second time we had to stand in line. After an hour (!!!!) of waiting despite a reservation, we were seated and allowed to order. We then had to wait another 30 minutes to place our order and then another hour for the pizza to arrive. The food was there 2.5 hours after the reserved time. There's nothing wrong with the pizza, I think it's really tasty. The dessert is a bit small for its price but also delicious. You can't complain about drinks either. The service was really horrible. Very long waiting times and the staff seemed very overwhelmed. It's really okay to get wrong food, but the friendliness should be there. The store is nicely decorated, but you can tell how as many people as possible were crammed into the store. Everything is very tight and loud. Not very good for conversation. Overall I was really disappointed. There are so many great reviews, but with such service and the long wait despite a reservation, I will no longer visit Nina and her father's chain. I can only warmly recommend Dad's shop, Gallo Nero.

Pizza is the best in town, people working there rock.

Pizza is fantastic!! The store is a little tight and cozy if you will but that’s a reason more to take the pizza to go and eat it some place around the Alster. A solid go to pizza spot in Hamburg that you really can’t go wrong with.

Great service and very good and fresh drinks and food. Come again!

Really good pizzas in a relaxed atmosphere. Crispy base, fresh ingredients – simply delicious. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends!

Best pizza in town! The service is also super nice, even if it is super busy at times.

The pizza tasted incredibly good. The staff was friendly although it was quite busy at times and there was a lot to do. Small but cute shop

Well 🤨, we were in their restaurant in Hamburg at exactly 8:19 p.m., but were turned away because they closed at 9 p.m., even though there were still free tables 🙄. We didn't think it was that nice :-(

Staff: a super friendly and helpful team! You're welcome to keep it up! Food: super delicious selection of pizzas and something for every taste!

Had a Margherita pizza, here to try it out. The Margherita was ok, but nothing more. The price of €12 is simply too much for what you get. This could not be compared to an original Neapolitan pizza. But despite everything, finding better pizza in Winterhude is not easy at the moment.

Unfortunately, the pizza has nothing of the original in Napoli. It's mushy and you can't eat it with your hands. Unfortunately it also tastes the same. The girls in the store are very attentive and friendly.

Delicious Neapolitan-style pizza. Very nice service too.

Great pizza at a fair price, the rest was also spotless.

The pizza sole mio is really something else. Super sad that I moved neighborood but I will still come there

I have two different opinions about this pizzeria. The food is great, very tasty pizzas at a good price, I can't complain. The service is nice. Unfortunately I still only have to give it three stars because of two things that bothered me. In total you only have 1.5 hours to sit in the evening, after which you are asked to leave. We waited almost 50 minutes for our pizzas, of course it can be busy and I understand if many people order from home, but local customers should have priority. We waited a long time for our order and still had to give up the table, which I personally didn't like and deducted one point. In addition, you sit inside with a catastrophic background noise. It's extremely loud and you can no longer understand your own thoughts. So you can only sit outside. Would recommend for takeaway but only on site if conditionally.

Very tasty pizza. 😋 Napoletana, the original!

Best Neapolitan pizza in town with the freshest ingredients!!

One of the best Neapolitan pizzas in Hamburg! In the small but charming restaurant you can watch your pizza being prepared. The pizzas are very tasty and in my opinion the Margarita Deluxe and the vegetarian ones are particularly recommended. !Maybe there will also be a vegan pizza on offer in the future! The wine is also very tasty. There is seating both inside and outside. In any case, you should reserve a table here if you want to go. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Payment is possible by card and cash.

Excellent pizza... you can also watch how the pizza is made... a handicraft...

Really tasty pizza. Eating on site is a bit uncomfortable. Too much hustle and bustle with too many people in a small space and delivery drivers constantly going back and forth. Of course it doesn't take away from the taste of the pizza.

The store is super cute, both outside and inside in the front! The fact that it's a bit crowded makes it more comfortable for me. The service is very nice, but you have to ask more often and everything takes a little longer, which is probably simply due to the high frequency of guests and orders. In 9 out of 10 cases the pizza is super tasty, once I found it to be a bit too thin, but still very tasty!

Of course, when looking for the best pizza, a visit to Spaccaforno couldn't be missed. Not least because of the renewed placement of the 50TopPizza in the Pizzerie Eccellenti category, as well as the review by Holle, I had to test what was on offer. This branch in Winterhude is relatively small. The front area primarily consists of the open kitchen, as well as a few bar-like seats with a perfect view of the oven. Past the checkout you come to the back of the restaurant with more seats. The spaces outside the door are always comfortable thanks to heaters and a roof. As usual, a Margherita was ordered for the pizza for comparison, as well as another, in this case the daily Vegetariana. First of all I have to say that Spaccaforno definitely deserves its 5 stars. The pizza is very tasty and well topped - not too much, not too little. The edge has decent roasted flavors on some sides without tasting too burnt or anything like that. The tomato sauce and the fior di latte taste very good together and combine in a fruity, fresh way. The dough is nice and fluffy without being too doughy. For my personal taste, the dough itself could be a little more flavorful. Unfortunately, this is probably due to the Caputo flour, as it doesn't develop the strongest aroma for me. I would also add a small pinch of salt. But that's my personal taste and, as described at the beginning, "complaining at a high level". In conclusion, I can unreservedly recommend Spaccaforno to every fan of Neapolitan pizza!

Extremely small shop. Service wafe. very young ladies who seemed quite out of sorts. Very hectic, narrow and bustling. Pizza itself is good. But the fior di latte was just thrown in heaps in the middle of the pizza so that I just had a big slab of slightly melted cheese.

The dough is really good and so are the ingredients. There was just way too much cheese for us, so we were still full of it the next day and haven't gone back yet. I never thought you could actually put too much cheese on a pizza. Too well-intentioned for us...

Great pizzas, it's not for nothing that two awards are presented right at the entrance: TOP50 PIZZA EUROPA 2023 and TOP Restaurant 2024. You can watch how Pizzaiola puts together the delicacies. The pizzas are great, the price-performance ratio is good. The atmosphere is uncomplicated, young and happy. We felt very comfortable. 100% recommendation!

Super delicious pizza! The Margherita Deluxe is a dream.

No recommendation! I am very disappointed to write such a review about a Neapolitan pizzeria in Winterhude. First our reservation was not found. Ordered pizza ham, unfortunately it came without delivery, was corrected by putting cold baked ham on the pizza, brought to the table without apology and without comment. We would have liked to have had more drinks, but no service came. Then we had to get up immediately because the table was only half reserved and we had already waited 5 minutes. were over time. I really enjoy my time with friends, but unfortunately NOT HERE ANYMORE!! Not recommended!

In our opinion, both pizzas were poorly baked, mostly black on the outside (bottom and edge) and sometimes too soft on the inside. We didn't communicate this immediately, only when paying. Answer: Why we didn't get in touch, they would have been happy to help us. That was a mistake on our part.

Great pizza...very cozy restaurant

Probably the best pizza in Hamburg is baked here, in classic variations, the dough is perfect and wonderfully prepared.

Pepperoni pizza looked good. Unfortunately it wasn't crispy and the salami came in strips and unfortunately wasn't to my liking at all. The dough was totally wobbly and mixed with the mozzarella to form a paste. For around 17 euros with a small cola, I would have expected more. It's widely advertised outside that it has the best pizza there, but you can only be happy that there are even better pizzas just a few doors away. There are these self-bought awards for the supposedly best pizza hanging everywhere in the store. That's a bit embarrassing.

Amazing spot. Great pizza. Great staff and amazing atmosphere especially outside. Always busy but always worth it!

Get cold food. When we asked, we were rudely dismissed. “It's not their fault” - however, it was admitted that the pizza had already been sitting in the store for a full ten minutes before it was delivered. They still didn't want to help us. Rude answers - bad service

The tomato sauce is really delicious. The Capricciosa pizza had pancetta (or something similar) but not salami and unfortunately no one informed us in advance (a shame, right!?). So that wasn't a real Capricciosa. One question: which Prosciutto Cotto do you use? Our pizza had the burnt "bottom". Unfortunately that can't happen (state attenti! Please be careful!) but strangely enough, our Nutella pizza was really good and without burning and service was also great.

Year 2024 and still no card payment. The waitress told us in a very rude manner that we didn't have any cash with us. Until the 21st century arrives here, we would rather leave our sales elsewhere. The food was OK.

Juice shop. We reserved a seat for 4 outside, but after 45 minutes of waiting we were seated next to the toilet. Of course we didn't feel like doing that, so we left again. I've heard a lot of good things about the restaurant, but if the staff is bad then you won't want to eat.

Very tasty, great friendly team

I live in the area and have been there several times, the pizzas are always very tasty and the price/performance ratio is very fair. The service is always friendly. You should definitely make a reservation, especially on weekends.

Unfortunately a bit disappointing. Soft dough, the thick edge in the middle almost raw.

We received a really friendly welcome and had a table in the back area. The service staff was there quickly and also very accommodating. We had our drinks after a few minutes and the pizza took less than 10 minutes even though it was full everywhere because of the good weather. By the way, the pizzeria is not very big, so make sure to reserve in advance. There is nothing negative to say about the pizza itself. Very tasty dough, well topped and really good ingredients. I would eat again at any time. I found the price totally reasonable, 3 very good pizzas and drinks for everyone for under €60

The pizza is simply outstanding. There really isn't anything more to say. There are many different good pizzerias and Italian restaurants in Winterhude, but none can compete with this one when it comes to pizzas. Of course there is also great espresso and various wines, but in the end I would also go here if there was only pizza and water.

Super delicious! Nice service and cozy atmosphere.

The Tartufo pizza had very little truffle topping for €24. In general, I know the taste and service from the other branches better than in this branch.

Really small, rustic shop, relaxed atmosphere, great service and simply super tasty

The Diavolo was definitely a win! 👌🏼

Small, beautiful pizzaria with very fine pizza.

Very nice atmosphere, nice service and great pizza! Pizza Margherita, Pizza La Vera Napoletana and Pizza Tonno e Cipolla are very tasty. A must for pizza lovers, will definitely come back.

The pizzas are OK. Except for the woman who only speaks English & is very nice, the service isn't that great. It also took longer to eat. The plates there are quite nice, otherwise the experience there is not that great. Won't go back, get more for the money elsewhere.

Best pizza I've ever eaten in Hamburg.

We arrived today with friends from Bremen to test the highly praised pizza. And what should I say?! Spectacular. The best pizza I've ever had. It doesn't get any better. The dough was airy, cloudy and baked to perfection. The tomato sauce is fresh, juicy and not too sour. The mozzarella was just the right amount. The olive oil is gentle and not too overpowering. The ambience was great. The people are friendly and authentically Italian. Price/performance 1A!!! Thanks. We will be back…

The pizza is simply a 10 out of 10!

We have had the best pizza ever in this place…it doesn’t compare to a regular pizza! Our food also came fast (on a Saturday evening) and it was so delicious, like always. The staff is super friendly.

We became aware of the pizzeria through Instagram and then set off from Altengamme. It was more than worth it, we have never eaten pizza so delicious! Definitely won't be the last time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Disappointing first visit but giving it a second chance it was definitely worth it. Really super tomato, very fresh ingredients. Very small but pleasant environment, very kind waitresses, everything quick and pleasant. Two flaws: 1) As happens in most Neapolitan pizzerias (especially contemporary ones) the pizza is often vaguely raw in the ledge area. All it would take is a little more care in drying it thoroughly and it would be super. Last time I actually had to leave pieces of pizza there because I knew I wouldn't digest them. I ask the pizza chefs to really pay attention to it, it totally changes the quality of the experience. 2) tiramisu. Fresh, and you can see that it isn't done by chance. But with cream... You just can't make tiramisu with cream. Original recipe with mascarpone as tradition dictates, or at least write/communicate it

We were seated right in front of the entrance where the suppliers had nice conversations with the door open and 4 degrees.

The small Italian restaurant here in Winterhude is very cozy. The pizza is great, the beer tastes really good.

In itself it was a delicious pizza (Bruscetta was mediocre) but we had to wait over an hour for the pizzas and when we wanted to order dessert, the waitress said that wasn't possible and we had to vacate our table because he had reserved it again.

Incredible pizzas with great selection! Prices very justified and great service

Unfortunately we only had the seats right at the entrance and passage. Very uncomfortable atmosphere because you are jostled every 2 minutes.

Very bad (basically non-existent) service. Even though the restaurant was hardly busy, it took ages before we could place the order. After the pizza was served, neither we nor the table next door ever saw the waitresses again. In the end we knew why: they were just busy with their private stuff. The atmosphere is also extremely uncomfortable, with cobwebs sometimes hanging on the lamps over the table. The pizza wasn't bad, but it wasn't a special highlight either. Too much tomato sauce on top

I arrived at the pizzeria with my dog ​​and was told that seating in front of the dog was not allowed Obviously I spoke in English because I don't speak German and they told me there was no room in the back. After a few minutes some Germans arrived with the dog and made them sit down, lack of respect

Super tasty pizza, if not the best pizza in Hamburg The shop is small and manageable, so reservations are definitely recommended. Service is friendly and accommodating, the pizza is baked quickly. We can only recommend this place if you are looking for good pizza!
